1. Er nurse to ir nurse

   Jersiey replied to jarielle22's topic in Radiology

   I was a ER nurse (with a year of ICU experience) and just started an IR job about 6 weeks ago! The day shift schedule is pretty nice, night shift was killing my body. We work 4 9 hour shifts per week and I'm way less tired than even when I was workin...

3. ICU vs ED

   Jersiey replied to medicalninja's topic in Critical

   I very much disagree with this (the area in bold). ER nursing requires quite a bit of critical thinking, being able to quickly figure out who is sick and who isn't sick certainly doesn't come naturally to everyone. I work both ER and ICU and have see...

6. My PT called 911

   Jersiey replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

   I was walking through the waiting room last night to get a pt and a guy at the phone asked me if he could call 911 for a ride home. My answer was, 'no, they're not a taxi service'. He didn't have a good comeback.

8. Creighton Univ. ANC Aug. 2013

   Jersiey replied to Jersiey's topic in Nebraska

   Hi ktpham! I actually just graduated last Friday! It's a crazy year but for the most part I had a positive experience and would recommend it. Creighton has a rolling admission so basically if you meet their requirements they will take you. The precep...

9. Stupid classmate tricks

   Jersiey replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

   There's someone in my class like that. The best day was when, just after she asked a particularity stupid question, the professor said that 'often the answer to a question is in the title of the slide'. There were fewer questions from that girl after...

11. Starting ABSN program in a week and a half!

    Jersiey replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I just finished my first semester of an ABSN and it was awesome! Yes, it was a bit stressful at times and I was definitely really busy, but I loved it. I think the best advice would be to not get freaked out and overloaded by everything. It's going t...

13. Creighton Accelerated/ANC bad idea

    Jersiey replied to Redoncue's topic in School Programs

    That's surprising to read. I'm in my first semester of the ANC program at Creighton and have not had that experience. Yes, not every faculty member is the best, but most of them are very responsive. Most of the past grads I've talked to have had posi...

14. Creighton Univ. ANC Aug. 2013

    Jersiey replied to Jersiey's topic in Nebraska

    I did start the program! So far I am really liking it. Yes, you're busy ALL the time and it's really fast paced, but the quality of teaching is high and I feel really supported by the faculty. So far we've only had 1 out of 57 drop out. If you guys h...
